ha ha- the fence is to keep the kids next door outta the backyard. they will mess with the tractors,chickens anything else they can find--especially when we aint home! and if you say anything to the parents well it is your fault that your fence aint good enough to keep em out! so i am putting up a 6' 1/2 foot board fence all the way around the back yard. if i would have done some of the shindigs these kids have done my daddy would have beat my tail.

I knew it was probably something like that, but it still gave me the chuckle for the day. Thanks!

Everyone's bees make it through the winter? Mine did. They're starting to bring in pollen. Probably from the maples.
